Event details
About the event
Nic Howes - Volunteer Walk Leader will guide us through Queenswood, hopefully in full autumnal colour to the viewpoint, where we will learn about the vista and landscape beyond. We will then descend into South Wood where we can view the coppicing work being carried out to manage the woodland. We will continue on to Burghope Quarry and its outcrop of the unusual Bishops Frome Limestone before returning to the start point. We will spot wildlife along the way and Nic will tell us all about the coppicing operations and the geological landscapes.
